Mark Knopfler — Two Pairs оf Hands

’Two Pairs оf Hands’ is the third track released from Mark Knopfler’s new album, One Deep River, out now. We got the roller coaster piling along The power and the glory of the song Holy moly where did the time go? I told you baby, now you know I’m keeping the balls in the air When I’m up here on the band There’ll be a little bit here and there I’ll still be trying to understand But they’ll all be in the air When I’m up here on the band What it is, I’m juggling here I’ve only got two pairs of hands There’s a pin-drop, they follow a thread And a lone voice cries out overhead When the thunder bursts in the velvet night There’s joy and wonder and delight I’m keeping the balls in the air Trying to keep up with the band There’ll be a little bit here and there Might get covered by the drifting sand But they’ll all be in the air When I’m up here on the band What it is, I’m juggling here I’ve only got two pairs of hands They’re back in the streets and in the bars The trams and the trains and back in their cars Holy moly, where did the time go? I told you baby, now you know I’m keeping the balls in the air Trying to keep up with the band There’ll be a little bit here and there Might get covered by the drifting sand But they’ll all be in the air When I’m up here on the band What it is, I’m juggling here I’ve only got two pairs of hands ‘One Deep River’ - Album Credits Written by Mark Knopfler Published by Will D.
